It’s more cost-effective to hold onto a customer than it is to gain a new one. That’s why companies today are so focused on retaining the customers they already have (i.e. churn reduction ). This is especially true for subscription-based SaaS companies that base their entire business model on recurring revenue. . No matter what kind of business you have, it’s important to hold onto as many customers as you can, creating a base that will continue to grow and pay off for years to come.

Competitive pricing is a fact of life for most businesses. Companies within a market are all vying for consumers' attention, and lower prices is an easy way to capture it. But what happens when pricing low turns from competitive to malicious? That practice, pricing low in bad faith, is most commonly referred to as predatory pricing — a method used by certain businesses to clear and dominate their markets.

Every closed deal requires two parts: the right buyer and the right seller. The right buyer is one who’s the ideal fit for your solutions. The right seller is one who has what it takes to guide the deal through the sales cycle and eventually, across the finish line. If one side of the equation isn’t quite right, there’s no deal. The vast majority of organizations have the first half of the equation down pat.

In 2019 I really needed social selling secrets. That’s when I began building my personal brand on LinkedIn. I’d not created any sales content previously but what I lacked in experience I more than made up for in enthusiasm. I knew that content creation was going to be a pivotal part of my success. However, my early posts didn’t perform very well at all. .
